(Critical evaluation)

 

Critical evaluation:

I really liked my final shot because I manged to get the reflection that I wanted at the end of the day and that background looks better then before. I can see this advertisement being put on TV and billboards in the future. The picture looks very sophisticated, like a Hugo Boss advert and it almost has a vintage feel to it. I had this shot taken with a f8 mode it really gave a nice sharp shot and I lessen down the ring light tone, to reduce the glare.

It was hard to edit this shot because I was having problem using Adobe photoshop so it was stressful in the beginning, but it came together in the end. I had to lower the aperture, so that the line on the background would be less visible. After this was done, the final product makes the line look like it was purposely done. It blends into the background very nicely. I wish I could have gotten a shot that showed the full reflection of the bottle, rather than it being cut off halfway. I was just being cautious because I did not want the mirror to reflect the ceiling.

This is the final advertisement:

This is the set up:

(Relevant Research)

 

Relevant Research: researching this product was not that hard I just took some shot with the perfume bottle in my sitting room. I had 2 pieces of white paper taped together so I could get that white background. I got a mirror and placed it on top of the chair so it could reflect upwards. After that I put the bottle on the mirror with 2 cubes, for extra details.

I had a ring light behind the white paper so the bottle could get some light. As for the ring light I taped a piece of white paper to act as a DIY light box. I had the aperture of the camera low so there can be a proper focus on the perfume instead of the cubes.

Some problems I had was getting the background to stop falling every time I took a photography. I definitely struggled with the paper. I could see the line of the light showing from the mirror reflection, I tried to adjust the paper as best as I could to make it less noticeable. To also help with this I decided to take the shots from different angle points.

I am going to try get more reflection shots of the bottle and the cubes not overpowering the hole set up. I was stuck between thinking of taken shot without a reflection just like my experiment shot on the develop. Until I saw some top famous brands using that reflection skill. It really makes the design look very cold and attractive to the eyes. I want to get the whole product in one shot from a decent angle so you can see the name and small details of where light hits the bottle of the perfume. So, I am hoping to try to achieve that ‘wow’ look.

These are some examples of pictures from my research:

   As you can see I was playing with the natural light in my room with 2 sheet of paper stuck from the back and one from the floor. And with 2 cube to get the mood of the image warm. 

(Discover) Proposal and Research advertisement

     

This is one advertisement I really found creative. its how the lens is focusing on the shoe and the way the face of the men is covered. plus the background lighting in play making you want to know what the shoe is about. 

I like this ad of the coca cola because of the way they using the lighting and the red background. with the slow motion of the water exploding out of the can. also I love the way how the portraits shot is place  you can see the reflection of the can underneath.   

This is the 3rd advertainment I found drawn too its the apple watch ad. I love how the way the watch  looks like its drowning under water with the air bubble in the scene. I feel this product make people want to buy it. plus its gave u a different view of how it looks on you.

Assignment - Lab 5 Deconstruct and RE-CREATE A Portrait

f/5,6  iso100  with the camera   Nikon D3500

 For this assignment I try recreated a portrait by using my mom has the women in the photography that I found on the internet. during this photo shot it was taken at night with the curtain close and the light off in the room. its was very hard to get the half slip to the side,  This took me like a good few time getting this look. I had a ring light to the left side of the face with a blue folder tap onto it. so it could get that cold atmosphere in this photograph. I really enjoyed this assignment at the end of the day. and I wish I had more time to take picture like theses but never available or nobody around at this point for this lockdown.

(Sinead) lab 4- Portrait Lighting Assignment

 Butterfly 

                        f/5.6, ISO:100, 0.5 shutter speed.

                       This picture was taken with a Nikon D3500 using a ring lights. I have the light facing my                         mom face. And trying to get the light underneath her nose. so it look like the butterfly. it                         was hard to get a good shot because the light hard to capture.

Split   

         

                       f/5.6 , ISO:125, 0.5 in shutter speed.

                       This picture was taking with the light at the side of the face, so you can see the half face                           with the shadow on it. was very easy because I just had to bring the light closer from a                             vertical point.

Rembrandt

                        f/5.6, ISO:160, 1/4 in shutter speed.

                       I took this picture with the with the ring light facing the side face to try get that triangle                           look. it was so hard because the video and sheet was so different. I got my mom to turn                           her face a the side a small bit.

Broad 

                            f/5.6, ISO:360, 1/4 shutter speed.
                           I took the ring light and brought it to other side but my mom was still in that same                                   position just like the Rembrandt 2/3 are in shadow now.

 

Loop 

                           f/5.6, ISO:560, 1/5 shutter speeds.

                          This is the loop lighting with the ring light. I had the light moved to the left side , you                              can see the shadow on the cheeks and on her nose that does not connect. It was a bit                                 hard getting that loop shape on the face. Took me 5 shot to get it.
